So I tried to properly map a lot of a village nearby, but it seems that things are not alright as I can't search for a house I mapped and have openstreetmap.org pull up the proper building. For instance this search
I did this change several days ago, so I was expecting openstreetmap.org to have these tags. Is there anything else that's required? What am I missing? Am I supposed to tag each individual house/building with "addr:street" ? |
This seems to be caused by a Nominatim bug with the Also do note that there is another issue. Bug 4619 is about Nominatim being unable to update its index correctly even if you modify the relation or the street. As far as I understand the bug you have to modify the building, too, in order to trigger a reindexing of the building's address. According to user lonvia, one of the top most Nominatim contributors, the best would be to use answered 12 Mar '14, 21:09 scai ♦ Interesting, but note that the building for "Chemin de l'Ochettaz 27B" does have the proper tag "addr:street", yet osm.org/nominatim can't find it. Is the mere existence of the associatedStreet relation the problem then?

I don't know the Nominatim internals to answer that question. But the query for Chemin de l'Ochettaz 27B succeeds now. Likewise your original query for house number 15.

The "highway=residential" https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/26637405#map=16/46.5120/6.5556 needs a tag "name", not a tag "addr:street" (visible on version #17) !

Does it work for older addresses? How are they tagged? The search DB update should not be a problem currently (see FAQ).
please write your tags, as usual, in this form:
key = value
. Do not use a ":" as separator.Since you are asking re. search: According to its FAQ Nominatim (the engine which is the main power of www.osm.org's search) understands the relation tagging and addr:street directly. Maybe you did it wrong (although the object in question looks good to me). Compare with working results.
